Thread: Do we really need dinner?

my thinking, is that if I don't have dinner but just a light snack, it would help me cut down on calories.

Reduce the overall amount of food you cook and serve yourself. . . or *do* something between dinner and bedtime.

i think when I buy lunch..i need to throw out 1/3 of it.

I heard a quote somewhere that said, "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen, and dinner like a peasant." I have no idea where I heard it but it made sense.. I eat a big breakfast, an average lunch - if I'm hungry, or I may snack. I usually eat a light dinner at around 5pm, one plate, no second rounds. I don't eat anymore after 6. This routine seems to work well for me. I have a weakness for ice cream though and the after 6 part isn't always easy to maintain.

Are you battling with a weight problem?

You can take an advanced nutrition course on line..

You shouldn't ever go hungry.. and that will be about what you eat.

My driver, in his mid 40s, was diagnosed with diabetes last year.. He has changed his diet and lost 30 libs.. He eats NO junk food or fast food.. He eats huge quantities of fruits, vegetables, salads, beans, some chicken and lots of baked fish.. and he's fine now.

I'm blown away when he cooks at my house once in a while.. He's very creative and his food is good.

All that food, energy, carbs...just sits in a low-metabolizing sleeping entity. It doesn't sound very healthy to me.

Is it not better to have a good breakfast....a big lunch..and then a snack later in the evening?

I generally eat lunch but occasionally I will eat a dinner instead, are you referring to supper or just a great big dinner vs a lunch?

Dinner IS a big lunch

So yes I love dinner, and second dinner. And I'm perfectly healthy

"Their faces were as a rule good-natured rather than beautiful, broad, bright-eyed, red-cheeked, with mouths apt to laughter, and to eating and drinking. And laugh they did, and eat, and drink, often and heartily, being fond of simple jests at all times, and of six meals a day (when they could get them): breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, luncheon, tea, and dinner."--from the prologue to The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Hi Friends,
i watch out all your comments and i want to share my opinion that we must have to take dinner because we save from any diseases by taking dinner and be healthful but do not take heavy dinner because after dinner we have to sleep if we take heavy dinner then we lost our diet
thanks

of course we need dinner, after all we are humans.

It depends on how fast your metabolic rate is and how well you can digest the food varying on if you need more before you sleep?
i guess everyone's different.
